Spain is one of the first countries to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaics, and is the world leader in concentrated solar power (CSP) production. Spain is also one of the European countries with the most hours of sunshine. In 2022, the cumulative total solar power installed was 19.5 GW, of which 17.2 GW were solar PV installations and 2.3 GW were concentrated solar power. In the same year, solar power accounted for 11.

The 2030 power sector transition in Spain: Too little storage for so

In this article we evaluate the 2030 power transition in Spain as it has been described in the National Plan for Energy and Climate and already approved by the EU Commission.
